It had been a few weeks since the incident and things had gone back to normal as much as they could. Hae had been up since 5am, practicing. It was now 8am and she decided to go back to the dorm, she passed the door in the lobby, loads of paparazzi out there, waiting for her to appear
"Hae! pose for us" She hears one yell, she sighs and turns to the door, putting up a peace sign and giving them a trained smile, she waves goodbye and walks up the steps. She gets to the dorm and lays on the sofa, immediately feeling bored. Hae gets up and goes to the room she shares with Hyunjin, pushing the door open and jumping on Hyunjin's bed
"Jinnie!" she yells, shaking his awake
"what..?" he mumbles, opening his eyes
"i'm bored" she smiles, sitting against the wall
"so you woke me up?" he groans, chuckling
"yep since you're my best friend" she smiles "come sit with me"
"fine" he groans, sitting against the wall with her, leaning his head on her shoulder
"How'd ya sleep?" she asks him
"alright, i had a cool dream" he smiles
"What was it about?" She asks, looking at the wall in front of them
"I was being chased by big lumps of coal and then santa came up behind me and was like "Ho Ho Ho" it was terrifying" He sighs
"that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard" Hae laughs "It's no where near christmas"
"i know! that's the point" He laughs
"i had a weird dream as well you know" she smiles "You were in it too"
"what was it?" he asks, pulling his head away from her shoulder and sitting up
"well....I was walking down the street and a bunch of paparazzi came running after me but they were puppies, puppies with cameras chasing me and then you popped out of the sewers and dragged me down there with you" she chuckles, looking at Hyunjin to find him frowning
"These paparazzi people are really getting to you, huh?" He sighs
"mhm" she says, a tight smile on her lips "can i be completely honest with you?"
"of course" He sighs
"I'm not sure i like being an idol anymore..." she sighs "it's too much "
"what....?" he whispers, grabbing her hand
"The paparazzi.....everything. It's like i'm their doll, if i'm not perfect i get death threats.....it's so hard" she whispers, tears threatening to fall from her eyes
"You can't let them do this too you, you love performing" He tells her
"i just don't know if i'm meant to be doing this anymore..." she says, the tears falling down her cheeks "i mean i could go back to school....get a degree in teaching"
"Hae...if anyone was made for performing it's you, you love dancing and singing i know you do so please, please don't stop" she whispers, squeezing her hands
"I really do love it but it's so much....too much" She whispers, closing her eyes
"We're all here to help you, Sunny. It won't be too much if you tell us" he sighs "You need to listen to your own advice. You always tell us to not keep our feelings inside but then you do the exact same"
"i know" she scoffs "i just find it hard"
"i get that but Hae you really need to stop doing it because if you do you go back to that place and that place is dangerous" he tells her, looking directly into her eyes
